13 insane things people built for Burning Man

There are no couches at Burning Man, which is why I could never go to Burning Man. Also, it’s outside, beneath abundant sunshine, filled with loud dance music, yoga, and people who are more open to new experiences than they are massively cynical. I would perish on the first day.

However, despite my personal aversion to the sun and trying new things, the week-long festival in the desert somehow continues to exist, and even thrive. There are currently 70,000 people at Burning Man, you guys! And they have built some truly amazing things. Here are 13 of the most insane constructions, found via Instagram.
